The Kingdom of Radicaster is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dritim II with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.405 billion Radicastrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bettertopia City. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Radicastrian economy, worth a remarkable 7,681 trillion stonks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 498,604 stonks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, childish pranks are no laughing matter, pedants defending Dritim II observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, and when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Radicaster's national animal is the fighter jet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Linism.

Radicaster is ranked 89,488th in the world and 1,813th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,291.37 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
